Testimonial for Jessica Meeds, CBD
We decided to find a doula because I had a lot of fear going into labor. When we found Jessica, right away we were drawn by her empathy and her ability to cut through a sea of information for us. As I practiced the exercises she recommended and learned more about what to expect during labor, I felt more at peace and confident as my due date approaches. But of course my baby decided to do anything but how we planned it to be. My labor ended up long, and Jessica, having just helped with another birth hours before, still showed up fully for me. She soothed me through each contraction. When the baby wasn't progressing much, she helped me in different birthing positions--some very humbling and demanded a lot of physical help. Jessica also worked well with the nurses to help progress the labor. In the end, though my labor was difficult (without complications), I had no fear in the process because I knew I was well cared for. I'm grateful to have worked with someone like Jessica who is highly attentive with a lot of birth experience. Now postpartum, I also know she's someone I can lean on when I just need a mama's support.
